Spinal Cord Stimulation Improves Pain, Arterial Stiffness and Vascular Flow in Lower Extremities in Patients With Diabetes Mellitus Type II A Multidisciplinary Collaborative Prospective Study
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY
The objective of this study is to assess the effect Spinal Cord Stimulators have toward improving vascular changes of diabetes mellitus in patients eligible for SCS placement based on their condition of painful diabetic neuropathy; we will evaluate improving their disability and quality of life, improving micro-circulatory changes induced by Diabetes Mellitus (DM), improving macro-circulatory changes induced by DM and improving arterial stiffness of the vessels of the lower extremity.
